Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a rectangle extending upward on the top left and top right sides forming two more rectangles of varying width and length. The dimensions are as follows: The bottom of the rectangle is 7 miles. The extended left side is 6 miles. The vertical height of the left side rectangular extension is 3 miles. The vertical and horizontal lengths of the right side rectangular extension is 1 mile each. There are six right angle symbols at the vertices of the polygon.

To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller rectangles and then add up their areas.
1. The area of the main rectangle is 7 miles * 3 miles = 21 square miles.
2. The area of the left side rectangular extension is 6 miles * 3 miles = 18 square miles.
3. The area of the right side rectangular extension is 1 mile * 1 mile = 1 square mile.
Adding up all the areas:
21 square miles (main rectangle) + 18 square miles (left side extension) + 1 square mile (right side extension) = 40 square miles.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the options given.
